Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that incorporates Braille letters and tactile features to aid visually impaired individuals in identifying the coin. The coin's outer ring has a series of raised dots that spell out the phrase "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" in Braille, while the inner circle features a tactile image of a hand holding a torch, symbolizing the pursuit of freedom and human rights. This design not only makes the coin more accessible to visually impaired individuals but also serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of human rights and the need to protect and promote them.
